June 5, 2018, update for Project 2016 (KB4022164)

This article describes update 4022164 for Microsoft Project 2016 that was released on June 5, 2018. This update has a prerequisite.

Be aware that the update on the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2016. It doesn't apply to the Office 2016 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home. (How to determine?)

Improvements and fixes

This update fixes the following issues:

Consider the following scenario:

You create a project template that has a task and resource assigned to it where the Assignment Units value is set to 0%.

You create a project in Project Web App in which the template is associated with the selected enterprise project type.

In this situation, the assignment on the task shows the Assignment Units value as 100% instead of 0%.

When you insert a project into a master project and clear the link to project check box, you may receive the following error message:

These tasks can't be linked because they're already linked through another task chain.

After the insertion process is complete, for a given task, it displays the same predecessor or successor for two times.

If you save a project that's created by Project 2002 or Project 2003 to a project server, the MSP_TASK_CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUES_SHADOW database table grows large.

Assume that you have a task that has a cost resource assigned and there is no work or material resource. When you split the task, the remaining cost is lost.

When a Project based COM add-in executes the FileSave method, Project 2016 may crash.

When you try to open an enterprise calendar while it is connected to a Project Web App instance by using Google Chrome, you receive the following error message:

Sorry, we were unable to open your project. Please try again. If this happens again, contact your administrator.

Assume that you add a resource to your project where the default booking type for the enterprise resource is set to Proposed. When you change the booking type of the resource in the project to Committed, and then save, close and reopen the plan again, the booking type is reverted to Proposed.

When you delete a Gantt chart type view that has a drawing in Project 2016, Project 2016 may crash. Related to this, when you delete a drawing in a Gantt view, you may see the drawing is deleted from another view.
